Patriot Pride
October 29th - November 5th
Benchmark Week
We are moving into the last week of October and the first week of November. We are already a quarter of the school year complete and soon will be Thanksgiving and Christmas break. Our processes and systems are in place as well as being continually updated to give the highest performance culture we can attain.
This week is our Common Assessment Week, please be sure to create an environment that gives the students the highest probability for success. We are implementing as close as possible the schedule and setup for ACPs so we are fully prepared and can make adjustments now that will be needed for December. The Testing Schedule has been sent out and we might have one update that will be sent shortly if needed. Please review the accommodations/modifications that listed in IEPs and 504s. I will be walking around reviewing those with teachers to ensure that we have listed is accurate and up to date.
This is our last major benchmark before ACPs. Lets make it an accurate check.
We have 14 School Days before Thanksgiving Break, lets make them count!
Onward!
